I haven't read Firstborn, but I love Perfect State so I would be thrilled if it was that.  Based on the excerpt he read at the Oathbringer release though I'm not sure how that would work, but of course you never know.

When you are absolutely determined to be an Ookla until Koloss Head-Munching Day!

Probably a dumb question, but what day is that?  Because I thought it was Saturday and apparently I was wrong ^^;

When you put your left glove on before your right one so you can feel Vorin for just a minute

Isn't it instant noodles?

WoB on Hoid and instant noodles:

"He likes his ramens, right? Like any sane person, he likes his instant noodles. Nothing more than that."

Not sure if that answers anything, but figured I'd throw that out there

Edit: Also, nice Ookla name! xD

When while walking across campus you hear someone mention Oathbringer from several yards away, and have to restrain yourself from running over and interrupting their conversation

When someone insults Words of Radiance, and you feel all the respect you once had for them jump out the window.

When it comes to a ship for Kaladin, my gut instinct says Rysn, though having not seen them interact yet I don't have a real idea.  I think (and hope) it will be a while before Kal has a relationship though; he's a character who has so much development on his own without a relationship and I think from a narrative standpoint I like it better that way.  (Let Shallan and Adolin handle all the mushy stuff and let Kal just go kick some butt please :P)

Plus, if Rysn were to somehow become a Radiant that would be awesome   I do think that she has some significance to the plot beyond just happening to be in Thaylen City when the gem storage place is getting robbed, and I always look forward to seeing her parts.  I feel like she has the most characterization out of all the seemingly "throwaway" interlude characters.  Even if she doesn't end up with Kal, I hope we get to see more of her.

I also feel like if Kaladin weren't to have a romantic partner then his bond with Syl would be good enough for him, but I don't want that pairing to be romantic.  Like some other people have said, that just seems wrong to me.  (Though with 7 more books to go, you never know what could happen.)

Kaladin x happiness is the real OTP though

“Fixer upper” was thought up by @Oudeis, if anyone does it it ought to be him, or at least with with his blessing. 

 

BUT, here’s a little diddy I’ve been working on for a while. When I first stumbled across this thread my initial thought was “someone really needs to do a parody to the song ‘Gaston’ from Beauty and the Beast.’”

Well, now I present to you:

”Lightsong”

enjoy

  Hide contents

The scene: Llarimar enters the bed chambers to find Lightsong still in bed, pretending to be sick 

Llarimar: 
Colors it grieves me to see you, Lightsong
Sitting in bed like a lump
Ev’ry priest here’d love to be you, Lightsong
So quit acting like such a chump
There’s no one in court as admired as you
You’re everyone’s favorite god
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
Ev’n if you are kind of odd…

No one lays like Lightsong
Doubts his faith like Lightsong
No one else hears petitions all day like Lightsong

But please trust when I say you’re a deity
Perfect, a pure paragon!
So could you please try to demonstrate piety
And perhaps emulate our God King, Susebron?

Llarimar and Priests:
No one’s sunk as Lightsong
In a funk like Lightsong
Llarimar:
No one tries quite as hard to get drunk as Lightsong
Lightsong:
I pretend that my wine is intoxicating!
Priests:
My what a god, that Lightsong!

Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
Llarimar:
Lightsong is the best
Always quick with a quip!

Priests:
No one jests like Lightsong
No one rests like Lightsong
Llarimar:
No one else resists Blushweaver’s breasts like Lightsong!

Blushweaver:
For there’s no god I’d rather be dating
Lightsong:
As you see I’ve got charisma to spare 
Blushweaver: 
But at times he can be so frustrating 
Lightsong:
That’s right!
When it comes to politics I just really don’t care!

Priests:
No one’s cool as Lightsong
Ridicules like Lightsong
Lifeblesser:
No one makes a god feel like a fool like Lightsong
Lightsong:
I’m especially good at humiliating!
*tosses a reversal sphere over his shoulder*
Priests:
Five hundred points for Lightsong!

Lightsong:
When I was alive I did so many things
Like juggling and sailing and stuff
But since I died I can’t remember a thing
And I simply have had quite enough...!

Priests:
No one’s swell as Lightsong
Nonpareil as Lightsong
Llarimar:
No one gets a guy thrown into jail like Lightsong!
Lightsong:
I see war scenes in all of my tribute paintings!
Priests:
My what a god...
Lightsong…!

 

OHSTORMSYES

Everything about this is absolutely fantastic!  XD

Is anyone here?

"DON'T SPOIL IT!!!!"

Do you have any idea how hard it is not to spoil it???  And the one OB spoiler thread I was invested in got closed... *sigh* Thank goodness for BYU Cosmere club tonight, it will literally be my first chance to verbally explode over this xD *apologizes to everyone in advance*

Dang it, I had things I wanted to get done tonight. Oh well, here goes. 

"Do you wanna kill some evil?"

  Hide contents

Vasher?

Do you wanna kill some evil?
Come on let’s go and slay!
You never draw me anymore
Unsheath a little more
It's like you've gone away-
We used to fight off armies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!-
Do you wanna kill some evil?
It doesn't have to be some evil.

Vasher: Be quiet Nightblood

Nightblood: Okay, bye...

Do you wanna kill some evil?
Or cut our way right through some walls
I think executions are overdue
I've started talking to
This weird fisher oddball-
(You can admire me some more, old Chapps!)
It’s best when someone draws me,
And I get to kill,

Just draining their Breaths away-
<humming>

Vasher?

Please, I know you’re out there,
I’ve been asking where Shashara’s been
You say we killed her,  and Arsteel too
But I’m ignoring you, don’t keep me in
We only have each other
It's just me and you
And I guess Vivenna, too...

Do you wanna kill some evil?

 

*I can't claim credit for the original idea on this one: that goes to @tecslicer and @Claincy who came up with it in this thread (which has some other great song ideas in it, like Bridge Four signing "He's a bit of a Fixer Upper" to Shallan and Kaladin). 

Oh my goodness, I cracked up so much at this!! XD If someone does "Fixer Upper" with Shalladin I will find a way to hack the Shard and give you 1000 upvotes*

*not really because I have no hacking skills but I will at least give you 1 ^^. I might try to do it myself later, haven't heard the song in forever though.

I can do 7 tonight, I can't get pizza either though, sorry! Though I would also be willing to contribute money

When, two weeks later, you still haven't emotionally recovered from Oathbringer.

I can do any day this week right now

Next week would be great, is everyone done reading Oathbringer??

Good points good points.  Appreciate that, because I was rather confused about it.  I'll leave my actual comments on Kaladin/Shallan/Adolin for that thread rather than dumping them here  

When you still haven't emotionally recovered 3 days after reading Oathbringer, and are practically exploding to tell everyone you know all the spoilers about everything.

Only none of my real life friends are done yet and there's a certain amount of screaming and noises that don't translate well onto the internet  ^^;

@Warbreaker_Weiss It's posts like these are the reason I'm on the Shard xD

All of Adolin's comments on fashion.  All of them.

Reactions:

-DALINAR.  Oh my goodness Dalinar.  I want to give that man a hug.  His arc was slow at the beginning I felt but STORMS there at the end with all the revelations and him finally forgiving himself and aghghdsghkhdslk;l  *cough* Alright let's see if any of the rest of this can be more coherent...

-I'm glad Kaladin got to spend lots of time with Adolin and Shallan, I was afraid from Part 1 that he'd be separated for most of the book.  Also, I really hope that he is still good friends with both of them and they're all bros even though Adolin and Shallan get married.

-On that topic... Pattern can't tell Shallan and Adolin "no mating" anymore... XD

-Also on that topic, I was really thinking Shallan wouldn't end up with Adolin, but I think that was the best choice by the end of the book and I'm definitely glad we got some closure on that.  (But please stop with the PDA, alright?  XD After having third wheeled a lot recently I found their public displays of affection weirdly annoying even though normally that wouldn't bother me in books xD). But I really did like Shallan/Kaladin so I'm a little sad that ship sunk... *sigh* As long as they still get to banter with each other and be friends and not awkward I think it'll still be good.  I'll be fine.  *tries to convince self*

-Well clearly everyone can tell what I was invested in...  I want to know more about Renarin and the effects of him having bonded a corrupted spren, and the implications of his visions.  I was actually surprised that theory ended up happening, though I'm very glad Ren wasn't actually evil or anything.  I think he's still a real Radiant, and I wonder if his spren would change back of Sja-anat was contained.

-Dude all the parts with the Thrill.  I love how it got characterized as both a force and having kind of a personality.  Crazy stuff.  I screamed when I thought Dalinar was actually going to become Odium's champion.  (Good thing no one else was home at the time.)

-Like 50 million more things but I'm not thinking straight enough right now XD

-All the Bridge Four things

-Lopen

-Lopen again

-Okay I'm done

Edit:  AND VIVIENNA HOW DID I FORGET TO SAY THAT

AND NIGHTBLOOD

And Lift talking about Dalinar's butt XD

Lol this has been me in all of my college classes this week... just finished like 30 minutes ago and I've probably scarred my roommate with all my rambling and various noises

For those of you who were there, my username for the quiz was AonEda or Aon Eda.

 

 

 

I was there!  Dang I was impressed!

When you camp out for the release, in spite of it being 40 degrees or less outside and having 8 am class the next morning, mostly just for fun.

(Still made it to class though!  xD)
